Product Description
Later that evening I sat down to read through the manual and watch the DVD.The manual is full of warnings to wear protective gear and hazard warnings.Nothing surprising here although I thought it interesting that most of the videos on the internet and DVD show riders with no protective gear whatsoever.The manual walks you through the process of charging the SW, maintaining it and offers riding tips.The video on the DVD is where you need to be to really understand how to ride this thing.The videos are brief- maybe 10 minutes at most.They show you how to charge the SW, get ready for riding and lots of random riding scenes- again, many of these videos show riders with no or little protective gear recommended and sometimes required by law.
Thanksgiving day I headed outside with my SoloWheel with a new determination to get it going.I had on my padded motorcycle jacket and gloves for safety and my roller blading helmet.The foot stands seem incredibly too high when you are looking down trying to reproduce the start shown in the videos.I had dozens of false starts where I either caught my foot under the stand and folded it up or got my foot up but not placed well.I also had a few successes where I was able to roll out for a bit until I lost my balance.The lean to turn habit I learned as a skill with my Magic Wheel was making this much more difficult than needed.Finally I cleared my mind and visualized twisting to balance and turn for a bit and gave it another try.Success- I rode to the end of the driveway.
Then a few neighbors came outside and I decided to retire for the day rather than play show-and-tell.Looking forward to more practice in the coming days.
Some other noteworthy things about the SoloWheel:
The leg rests (red pads) on the side of the SW are actually padded material that is infused right into the hard case of the SoloWheel
The tire is a bicycle tire and the SW comes with an extension tube for inflating it properly.The manual lists 35psi as the optimal pressure.The manual also describes how to change the tire but does not give details on a proper replacement tire.
The SW has a feedback mechanism that provides a shake when it is time for a recharge
It has a maximum rider limit of 450 pounds (114 kg)
The unit itself weighs a bit over 28.5 lbs (13kg)
